A continuer is a short utterance which plays discourse-structuring roles like indicating that the other speaker should go on talking, such as “uh-huh” and “okay” [1]
Example (1):
-Explainer: ["So today, we're gonna talk about blockchain technology."] -Explainee: [Okay.] --->Continuer -Explainer: ['[Bettina] Have you ever heard of blockchain?'] -Explainee: ['I have.', "Whenever we have a transaction, and let's say", 'I buy something from you, this information gets logged.', 'And it gets verified by a third person or third party.', 'And then if like all this information verified', 'and it all matches, right, the transaction goes through', 'without any intermediary basically, right?', 'It gets stored, and when you make further transactions,', 'this information is ready, embedded.', "It's in the ledger."]
